@Aewin Oh, okay. Well, I wish you luck with your new job!

I'll figure out what to do today, hopefully? We'll see

@TheSeriousJoke Unfortunately, I will have to withdraw as well. I am very sorry.

Since it is very close to the RP's start, you can use Poppy should a replacement not present itself ^^

@Melo Okay. I wish you luck as well!

Fucking ouch.

I don't want to seem like an opportunist here, but I do want to propose something now that the chance presents itself:

There's this concept that I've been meaning to try out for a SHSL ???, and considering ours is intent on leaving, maybe I can PM Serious with a sheet and give it a shot. Of course, Serious still has to decide what to do with the current ??? first. I just want to drop this in because stuff happens pretty fast around here, so I want to be quick on the draw.

Right on, I'll let you know what I decide, but you've got dibs@Ammokkx

I suppose it's best that they left now instead of once things started rolling.

Well, I know a few people wanted extra characters, so I don't think this will slow down anything. It just means a few people need to make some more characters.

@BrokenPromise Yeah, hopefully!

I've already come up with my decision (I expected it to take more time, hehe). Anyone who has dropped will also have their character removed. So, @Ammokkx can have the SHSL ??? and @Ryik called dibs on second character before, so they can have that.

If a slot is open or one opens up, @TheSeriousJoke , i'd like to call dibs on a SHSL Larper. Ive got a pretty good idea...

So that's two characters gone? ;-;

@Grnmachine Right-o! You can go ahead and put your character in the character tab.

Name: Flint Asidea
Talent: SHSL Recollector
Gender: ♂
Appearance:
Backstory: Flint has been living as a delinquent his entire life, born into poverty and addiction. In particular, he is addicted to a drug known as "seeds of eden”, a psychoactive drug that induces a feeling of bliss and specific hallucinations. These drugs are special in that they cause the image of "god", beautiful monstrosities, to appear to those affected. Depending on the mix, the god appears differently, but the same mix yields the same visage, even through uses by different people. For reasons not hard to imagine, peddlers of the drug often thinly veil their trade as a religion, each god promising a different method to get their followers to "that special place", as "interpreted" by that god's "prophet".

The religion he was born into was one Flint is not fond of. Worshipping a "wrathful god", the rites carried out by its prophet were violent, and it was in this manner that both of his parents died.

His current religion by contrast, worships a "god of love". Its prophet, his "father" in a financial and religious sense, instead teaching his clients the importance of “saving” others, by “purifying” the “evils” from their household and helping them see “that special place”. Only in saving others from the evils of their household and finding a partner who they can show that special place to can they achieve “salvation”.

Simply put, Flint has been living the life of a thief since birth. He's committed countless petty crimes, never paid much attention during the brief time he was in school and has vivid nightmares whenever he suffers from withdrawal. His "father" has sent Flint to the academy “to further his ability to purify the evils of man" and avoid the legal attention he was threatened with.

Any other information you'd like to share:
- Flint was sent off with a supply of the drug to use as he saw fit.
- Flint possesses eidetic memory and memorization capabilities consistent with hyperthymesia
- Flint’s talent was first discovered by Hope’s Peak faculty when his “father” managed to sell some of his drawings online for a high price, which Flint often makes in his spare time using his memories, real or hallucinatory.
- Picked up random Latin phrases from his "father". Uses them more often than he should.

@Ryik Approved!

And with that, we have our cast! I will be getting right to work on my final decisions, and I'll get the first post up ASAP!

I'm very excited to go on this wild adventure with y'all! See you in the IC soon!

Hey folks! Just here with a quick update, just to make sure you guys know I'm working on stuff!

First of all, if any of you have any requests for your research lab (for those of you not in the know, that's basically your character's own personal room to practice/strengthen their talent), just let me know! Otherwise I'm just gonna kind of wing it (though let me know if you don't have specifics, so that way I can get prepared). If y'all could get back to me within the next 24 hours or so, that's be great! (and it doesn't have to be super detailed, I just want to know the basics of what would be in there)

Second, all of the locations are pretty much set up, I just need to decide how they connect with one another. I'll have that up, along with where everybody is, as soon as I'm finished with that, which will probably be within a couple of hours.

Third, of all, I'd like to announce our protagonist!



And before any of y'all ask- the mastermind is not yet confirmed, so don't get too excited just yet!

I'll have a lot of time on my hands tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be ready to kick things off very soon!

Okay, all location info is placed in the 0th post! (IDK if a notification gets sent for 0th post, so I'm making a post just in case)

@TheSeriousJoke They do not. Mentions also don't work when you edit them in. This is to prevent people from getting notifications every time a post gets edited. and the 0th post will get edited a LOT.

Okay, here's the info of what your characters do/don't remember. I'll also be adding it to the 0th post, for convenience.

Added a map to the 0th post, made by addamas!

Okay, I'm writing up the first post now! Please continue to send me lab info- I figured I wouldn't need it right away, since no one is starting over there, but I do need it soooooon.

GET HYPE, FELLAS!

The roleplay has now officially begun!
